Physician’s offices are so reliant on electronic health record (EHR) systems that sub-par performance is rarely tolerated. While laboratories are equally dependent on quality tools, too often they continue to rely on legacy systems that don’t help the lab keep up with increasing demands, and don’t adequately serve clients or patients with the timely accurate information they need.
A recent article entitled “Increasing Workforce Productivity in the Diagnostic Laboratory (https://usa.healthcare.siemens.com/news/mso-increase-workforce-productivity.html) ,” noted that labs face growing test volumes, staff shortages, and declining reimbursements. An aging population, introduction of new lab tests, and increasingly proactive care required under value-based reimbursement models all contribute to the growing test volume. The article explains how labs can fight these trends by increasing productivity via people and processes, hardware, and digitization. The latter is credited with “better management of testing processes, leading to improved workflow and better clinical outcomes.”
